On Sunday last Wm. Jackson, cow boy in the employ of the Wabash Cat tie Company, came into town and im- bibed little too much tarantula juice. After which, carrying out the instincts of great many of that fraternity, he must need make a noise, and according ly made his gun speak twice. Under Sheriff Mcdonald was on the spot in- stanter inquiring as to who fired the shots--no one seemed to know. Re- marking that he would find out, Mir. Mcdonald turned and walked out of the Monarch Saloon, in which place the shooting had been done, and started to the Billiard ParloIs, few steps below the Monarch. On reaching the latter place he made similar inquiries. No one answered him at first, but finally Dionicio Baca pointed to Jackson, who, it appears had followed Sheriff McDon- aid abou4 half way to the other saloon, and said, "that is the man who did the shooting" Jackson then mounted his horse, which was standing in front of the Monarch, and meeting MT. McDon- aid, who was returning, sad 'T shot now arrest me-" at the same time whirl- ing his pistol around in the air. MT. Me Donald was unarmed; but Frank Hub bell ran across the street, snatched a Winchester, he had in his room and slipping up behind Jackson, told him to throw up. Jackson, looking around, took in the situation at glance, and said, Certainly, I'll throw up when you have got the cinch on me-" He was then taken to jail-had preliminary trial on Tuesday morning before Justice Patterson, and bound over in the sum of $1,000, which was immediately given and he was released. The affair is an unfortunate one, as Mir. Jackson bears a good name and an excellent charac- ter, and is known to be an industrious, peaceable and hard working man.

Stock Yard Cranks.

EDITOR HERALD-The shipping season will soon commence and the cranks of the stock yards put in their annual ap- pearance. We all know them more or less.
 When cattle are in the pens, we see see an individual walking round the fence, examining them closely and stop ping every now and then to deliver a short speech. This must surely be a buyer-we step up and listen to him. "Roughest lot of beef steers ever see. Must have trotted them all the way. Wonder they don't put man in charge that knows how to handle cattle. Darn my hide, when I worked for the Hoe Handle outfit, carried beef-herd hundred miles to the railroad; could only water them twice; run on me every night had no grass and by G-d, put them in the pens as sleek as moles. Knots of fat all over them," etc.
 When loading begins this crank comes to the front properly-tells every one what to do-bothers the man counting recites instances of his own skill and quickness in loading cattle, and when the train pulls out, gives his opinion that it is the worst loaded lot of cattle he ever saw.
 There is always crank in every town to whom the corraling of cattle offers an irresistible attraction. He probably works in a bakery or shoe-shop, and does not know COW from steer, but he must be on hand whenever cattle are penned. Though he has received many cursings, the ruling spirit will come out. He IS skillful in hiding, and does not show himself until at critical moment. Just when the boss thinks his steers are going to take the pen, his ugly mug shows up over a gate, or from the top of car, and the cattle break back. This will be repeated until the crank is tied down.
 There is another and more harmless crank than the above. This specimen is generally seen bounding over the prairie, on sixteen-hand buggy horse, with center-fre saddle we'll up on his neck, He is smiling and happy in the

RODEO NOTICE.

as
 The Executive Committee of the Apache County Stock Association at its meeting held at Holbrook, on July 31st, arranged the rodeo as follows:
 The work will begin at the Meadows on September 5th, and work substan. tially as it was last year, viz: From Meadows over Wabash range to twenty four ranch; thence to Esquidilla noun tains, Mangus Springs, Cow Springs and Coyote, and continue on to the co range and thence down the Show Low.
 At the Meadows the work will be in charge of Mir, Henry Smith. On the Wabash range, Mir. Young Jenkins will be Captain. From the Twenty-four ranch to the range of Tuning & Cooley, MT. Bob Thomas will be Captain. From thence and down the Show Low, Mir. Juan Sepulveda, Captain.
 Going west from the Meadows along the Colorado river to Woodruff, MT. Nat Greer will be Captain From Woodruff on down the river, MT. Ed. Rogers will take charge. At Holbrook Mir. Rodgers will divide his party, sending an outfit up the Puerco to, and beyond if neces- sary, Bennett's ranch; thence swing round by Tanner Springs, working the Lereux wash, over the X ranges, then down the Cottonwood to it's mouth, join ing the other party at Clear Creek. The remainder of MT. Rogers outfit will work down the river to Clear Creek, where, after joining party No. l the en- tire outfit will work back between the creeks to the Verde road, then east through the mountains, via Milford, Phoenix Park and the Indian Tanks to Show Low.
 The Committee proposes to make this rodeo as thorough and careful as possi- ble, and to that end the attention of the various Captains is called to these sug- gestions:
 Work slowly and satisfy yourself and the men whose range you are on that you have seen all the stock on it. There is no need of rushing the work at all.
 Consult with the men who control the range over which you work, and work according to their desires and conve- nience as much as possible.
 Brand every calf you can, no matter to whop~it belongs. This Association proposes to put stop to 'mavericking' if it can be done, and the Committee believes that by branding every calf found, it will greatly decrease the num- Der of mavericks, and thus lessen the temptation to steal.
 Keep a careful record of such brands, and in case you find no owner to report them to, send the brand and tally in to the Secretary of the Association, and they will be advertised in the HERALD
 And finally set squarely down on horse racing and gambling. : By order of the Executive Committee

 Vice-Pres and Chairman.

temporary possession of a large pair oi schaps, which are gradually working up to his chin. He proposes to help the boys pen and greets them heartily. Ii a steer breaks away our friend zealous- ly dashes after him; by letting out one rein and hauling in his slack on the other, he is able to turn the buggy horse in about 400 yards. Finding this unat- tractive sport, he takes after the steer, lopcs easily behind him, and unless headed will soon be out of sight. Some times a timely hole shortens his career, and the buggy horse goes riderless back to the stable. Such luck, however, is rare and the boss generally has to make the best of the infiction.

The grand jury which will convene on the 18th of. September will be called on to investigate good many very serious charges. Among others whether it was the right and proper thing for an official to approach juryman who had been empanneled to try man charged with grand larceny. Another will probably be whether it is legitimate for a man who has another under obligations to him and to certain extent in his power, to use that power in influencing a juror in rendering verdict, in a criminal case, to suit bis peculiar views, right or wrong. Although the juryman, in this instance, was run out of the country, there is enough evidence still to be ob- tained to make it unpleasant for the party interested.

The Southwestern Stockman says Dep uty United States Marshal Will Smith, of Yuma, and Officer J. V. Brighton, of Apache county, arrived here Monday from Solomonville and took the evening train for Tucson. Mir. Brighton, who was arrested last week on complaint of stockman named Cunningham, for whom he (Brighton) had a United States warrant of arrest for stealing Govern ment cattle, was released by the Justice of the Peace at Solomonville who issued the warrant for his arrest, as Cunning ham failed to put in an appearpnce at the examination. The charge Cunning ham brought against Brighton was that of the killing of Ike Clanton. Messrs. Smith and Brighton recovered fifty head of cattle belonging to the San Carlos In dians on Cunningham's ranch, but failed to capture Cunningham. The officers claim that he was harbored and con- cealed by prominent citizen of Solo, monville. MT. Brighton returned here Wednesday from Tucson, and it is un- derstood he had warrants for several other parties charged with stealing stock from the Indians.
